This image is a pencil sketch showing two people from the waist up. On the left, a man is leaning against a bar counter, looking sideways with a slightly tilted head. He wears a hat, a suit with a v-neck sweater, a collared shirt and a tie, and holds a small stemmed glass. On the right, a woman stands near the man in profile. She has short curly hair under a hat, a prominent nose, and wears a dress with fur trim. On the bar counter are a basket, bottles, and the word "CAFÉ" written on the wall. A wooden chair and decorative elements indicate a cafe setting. The sketch is signed "Paris 1931, Israel Rechter."
